Disablw HDR Video toggle isn't working anymore on the latest versions of YouTube , I think you can use vp9 codec toggle to get rid of this HDR .

I am using recommended version - 19.11.38, Is this version also not supported for disabling HDR. Is there any other YouTube version that supports disabling hdr. Or any other method to fix this because in HDR my videos starts dropping frames in even 1080p. While in previous dev patch it was working without the need of enabling vp9 codex

USE ANY VERSION LOWER THAN 19.09.XX

Thanks for the info. I will try the 19.09.xx. But I don't know what went wrong previously I was using YT 19.11.38 using anddea v223 dev 14 patch and it was working perfectly fine

HDR autobrightness is a different patch. Either patch wasn't applied, or maybe there are new server-side features by google.

Hi @anddea, as I checked the patch was applied successfully and i tried the previous V223dec14 patched YT app it's also giving the same issue HDR is always showing even if the HDR is disabled. Maybe it's some server side changes. Can you try from your end , to reproduce - Disable the HDR option then open the Costa Rica video shown in screenshot and let me know if it's same for you as well?

[anddea]

I cannot reproduce this issue. If anyone else can reproduce it, let us know.

Maybe try to clean install, especially if it worked for you before. Is there anything that you changed so this happened? Maybe you changed sources back and forth and then it started? Or anything else?

[Anurag69]

Tried clean install, nothing changed in selected patches

[Anurag69]

As i checked now the HDR option is only showing for Costa Rica video shown in screenshot. Maybe this is video / user specific bug.

[anddea]

Can you disable Disable HDR video to check id other videos really have HDR.

I don't have HDR for Costa Rica video.

Close the issue, if disable HDR works for you.

[Anurag69]

Tried disabling the HDR , as you can see the other videos does have HDR

[Anurag69]

After enabling the disable HDR only the costa Rica video shows the HDR option as u can see in SS

267 Maybe it's related to this issue

[Anurag69]

Closing as it got fixed automatically by maybe some server side changes on YouTube app
